50 freedoms lost under this administration!

I can't carry nail clippers on an airplane.

Not a lost freedom...just a delay. :)

Ahh...at last a personal anecdote of a true loss of freedom. :thumbsup

Well, technically I could go to jail for owning the domain name balloonbabe.com and balloongirl.net if current lawmakers pursue these matters..


:winkwink: My :2 cents: :2 cents:

Only 6% of so of our workers are unemployed! (Not counting those that gave up looking for a job, or whose benefits ran out!)

Truly something for Bush to be proud about!:feels-hot

I'm sure those families are OVERJOYED at the tax cut they got. Now all they have to do is GIVE IT BACK to pay for the $85 BILLION that Bush now wants to fight Iraqis!

What a STUPID STUPID move the tax cut was when Bush knew that going to war was going to cost so much more money that we could ill afford to spend.

Hmm...you may be right...and they are persuing the matter...in at least one big case. You may want to do some re-thinking. I did.

As I stated I did not favor a tax cut...war or no war...for more than one reason.

You are aware that the "hacking" that's considered terrorism isn't just writing worms, etc. When you use a program that mimics the yahoo or aol protocol, uncle sam says you're in violation. You do NOT have the right to disassemble any program and reproduce it if the protocol is not made publicly available. And don't you use phish?

And PORN is illegal. Look at recent obscenity cases and statements made by government officials involving these and other cases. Hardcore pornography is officially considered obscenity. The fact is they just haven't cracked down on regular old hardcore yet. They're starting with the bizarre stuff.

So unless there's someone here who never distributes penetration pictures, we're all criminals.

I do plan on moving to Canada in a few years. It's true, I want full blown socialism. All I've seen in this country is 1 success story of a rich fucker who becomes a total douchebag per 100 struggling families. The economy is failing and will only continue to get worse. The inevitable gap widening between the haves and have-nots makes this a continually dangerouse place to raise a family. I just can't bear to leave my family or friends right now, and my girlfriend says she hates canadians cause well, she's a typical front running politically clueless american.

I am not other than warning on front pages and I have always avoided doing hardcore .. I have the right to do what I want on the internet as long as it is legal..

I don't try to have children go to my sites so I would just fight back in court.. The majority of my sites have sex, porn or sluts , whores etc in them so I am not too worried..


Parents need to get off their fucking asses and take care of their kids...They have to follow the laws and have car seats. No reason they can't watch their children's surfing...

Porn per se is not illegal...the Supreme Court ruled on this quite some time ago...but the dangerous part of their ruling is "community standards". Which means that either 6 or 12 (depending upon the jurisdiction) people are allowed to make the judgement call for the community.

"It Takes a Village" :) By the way I had a dream about you when I was asleep and my back was in very good shape. :Graucho

I remember the days of the Nixon administration too well. Power corrupts and the power that the Patriot Act gives to the current administration would have allowed too much of what Nixon did that was illegal.

American's are too willing to surrender their freedoms for security, so were the German's prior to WW II. Trust your government, Thomas Jefferson would never had trusted this government and I and I am with him.

Secret files, domestic espionage etc are all there to provide security. We need this security because we meddle in the affairs of other countries for the benefit of multinational corportations so that they can continue to rape the planet and abuse those people least capable of protecting themselves.

These companies only care about their stock price and as they move their tech jobs to India, their manufacturing jobs to China. Damn Ross Perot a true liberal was right about the giant sucking sound from Nafta, he just never considered the other directions the jobs would go. These are the entities who run this country to their personal benefit.

They could care less about freedom and will do what ever is necessary to keep their profits. The government is their tool.

:Graucho


Did my whining about being deprived get to you ? :winkwink:

Just got the call from hub. He has a tumor of 8 milmeters. He has to start the medicine to shrink it tomorrow...

So glad to finally know why my old man never had much of a sex drive since I met him...

You have always gotten to me. :Graucho What is the prognosis?
